At college, we think and act like every test is going to determine the rest of our lives. The truth is, we usually prove ourselves wrong about failing, and even if we do fail one test, it doesn’t actually alter our lives or our GPAs. In five years, A+ or F, we won’t even remember the test at all.

Either way, whether it makes us feel better to relieve our stress or we just can’t help ourselves, these pre-test thoughts and feelings of anxiety are unfortunate, but inevitable.
